Welcome back to Episode 2 of "Creating Well-Rested Families" where we dive into the concept of awake windows and how these crucial periods influence your baby's sleep.

Schedules are important, but as I've learned through experience, flexibility is key. You'll find practical tips on how to adjust awake windows as your child grows and how to handle schedule disruptions with ease.
